CALHOUN AFPAIRS?
Dr. T. R', Dreher Says One's Name
Wae Mentioned in Connection
With Courthouse and Jail.
The following communication
from Dr. T. H. Dreher, the St. Mat
thews correspondent of The News
and Courier, to the Calhoun Ad
vance, will be read with interest. He
says:
"As local correspondent of the
News and Courier, I sent a report of
the first day's recent court proceed
ings, and, among other things com
mented on the judge's reflections
ebout an expensive court house and
jail; and that the preceding judges
had done the same thing one of
whom had confessed that he was
' -urged to do so.
$ For this he severely rapped the
correspondent, in open court, next
morning and vigorously proclaimed
Tils owr innocence. I was out of
.town, tfcat cay .but as soon as in
formed about it I sought the judge
at Cain s hotel. He admitted that
he had discussed the court house and
jail proposition with the hotel pro-i
prletor but that he (the proprietor)
had not requested him to mention it
anywhere.
He ( he judge) made no reference
to courc house and jail in his first
charge to the grand jury but did do
It when the grand jury returned from
their room Into open court. During
the interval, he confessed that his
memory had been "jogged" by some
one. He didn't exactly say who did
the "jogging" but admitted that
"jogglrg" was done. .Now, why
should anybody have "jogged" his
memor.7, if there had not been some
previous understanding?
"During my Interview with him,
the nane of a gentleman from Or
angeburg was suspiciously mentioned
in connection with the St. Matthews
court house and jail, but he was not
sufficiently specific to justify publi
cation. I have good reasons, how
ever, for believing that a part* of the
program was enacted in that city.
"Before we parted, the learned
judge straightened up and said, with
great emphasis: 'I was determined
that you should not destroy the in
fluence of my words on the grand
jury.' In my second report I made
a .brie;!- reply in the News-and Cour
ier, to order that he might make
denial of my statements before he
left, if he cared to do so.
"A judge, in his sovereign robes
of offn e, has no more moral right to
take advantage of his position, to
bumilate a correspondent in open
court and 'destroy his influence' in
the community than the reporter has
to destroy that of a judge?more
especially when I had strong evidence
again; t him, and he had none against
me.
" 'I have done no more to Caesar
than he shall do to Brutus.'
"T. H. Dreher.
"Local Cor. N. and C."
We do not see why any Orange
burg man should mix up In this pure
ly Cf.lhoun county matter, and we
.think that Dr. Dreher will find that
his Fuspicions are groundless if he
will investigate the case fully.
EUTAWVTLLE SCHOOL.
Citizen's Meeting Decided to Build
Modern Building.
A very enthusiastic citizens meet
ing was held at the old school build
ing in Eutawvdlle on Thursday p.
m. The meeting was called to order
by Mr. T. S. Gelzer and Mrs. J. D.
Wiggins was chosen secretary. Supt.
L. W. Livingston was present and
stated in a few words the impor
tance of good school in that com
munity. "At this meeting it was un
animously decided to erect at once
a new and modern three-room schol
building . About two hundred dol
lars was subscribed in short order
and a committee was appointed to
increase this cash subscription to six
hundred dollars so that six hunherd
dollars may be gotten from the state
and county together to aid in the
construction of this new building.
It is estimated that the present val
ue of the school property and equipt
ments is about $800. Thus when
the new .building is completed and
?equipped it will be worth at least
$2,000. If the present plan is car
ried out every dollar of the cost of
improvement will be paid for when
the new building is completed. These
good people are also at owrk pre
paring to vote on a special tax so
that they may have sufficient funds
to run their public school with three
competent teachers for eight months
each year.

A GOOD MAN PASSES.
Death of Dr. H. N. Fair, of St.
Matthews on Wednesday.
J The Calhoun Advance, published
at St. Matthews, eays "the grim reap
er death has again invaded the
ranks of good citizenship. Dr. H.
IN. Fair died Wednesday at 2:30 at
his home on West Bridge street, in
the 61st year of his age. He had
been in failing health for a number
of years feut with a pleasant smile,
cheerful and hopeful he would al
ways look upon the bright side, bear
ing his infirmities without a mur
mur.
"In the death of Doctor Fair the
town haB lost an honest upright cit
iqen, the church a devout Christian
and his family a devoted husband
and father. He has since 1875 cor
dncted a prosperous drug-business
at this place and was widely and well
known for his uprightness of char
acter, coupled with a genial disposi
tion which made him popular and
secured for him many fast friends.
""^Dr." Fair held the position as
postmaster here under several ad
ministrations* and gave entire satis
faction to the people, always a lead
er in the educational affairs of the
town and community, holding the po
sition of trustee of the school here
for many years and we can look back
into the past and see the imprint of
that faithful service upon the growth
and future of our school. As mayor
of the town, which position he held
for many years, he was known as a
fearless conscientious official, of
whom the lawbreakers were always
aware, and in this position he was
ever on the alert to do something
for the betterment of the town and
community. /
"He was Master of Izlar Masonic
lodge here and will be laid to rest
by the order today. He was a faith
ful and consistent member of the
Methodist church. 'He leaves to
mourn his death, besides a host of
friends and relatives, a widow, four
sons. H. W. Fair, of Columbia, J. H.
W. M. and J. C. Fair and an only
daughter. Miss Mamie, of this place.
"To his family we extend the
earnest sympathy of the Advance
family."

Getting to Be Serious.
Orangeburg County generally, but
especially the section around the
